 DESCRIPTION
The AIC2350 is a low-noise, pulse-widthmodulated (PWM), DC-DC step-down converter.
The device is available in an adjustable version
and fixed output voltages of 1.0V, 1.2V, 1.8V,
and 3.3V.
The device features an internal synchronous
rectifier for high efficiency; it requires no external
Schottky diode. The AIC2350 is ideally suited for
Li-Ion battery applications. PWM/PSM mode
extends battery life by switching to a pulseskipping-modulated mode during light loads.
Shutdown mode places the device in standby,
reducing supply current to under 1µA.
Other features of the AIC2350 include high
efficiency, low dropout voltage, short circuit
protection, over temperature protection, and
over voltage protection. It is available in a small
5 pins SOT-23 package.

Current Limitation
The AIC2350 provides current limit function by using
an internal sensing resistor. When the main power
switch turns on, current follows through the internal
sensing resistor. And current amplifier senses the
voltage, which crosses the resistor, and amplifies it.
While the sensed voltage gets higher than reference
voltage, the current limitation function is activated.
